Does anyone know how to help a paraplegic squirrel? (sheezy.art)

I was in the yard of an old place of residence. One of the squirrels happened to have made its legs useless, presumably from a fall. As one can see, I recorded it trying to run from me (and failing; don't worry, I just startled it and didn't do anything to it) as I stepped out of the backyard door. What would you advise?
